Three kings ruled in China. Three kings, each dreaming of ruling all under heaven. Three kings who rallied their armies for battle. The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide.

One additional note, and this is real. Zhang Fei during the escape, didn't just burn the bridge down. He destroyed the bridge and yelled at the incoming Cao's cavalry forces and yelled ''I am Zhang Fei! Fight me to death!" No one came out forth and Zhang Fei was able to escape. This is ACTUAL history written by the Cao's historians. A REAL BADASS RIGHT THERE.

I absolutely love the way it's presented, makes it a lot more dramatic and enjoyable, and I don't really care if you mispronounce the names, but the POV of the story is very much centered on Liu Bei as the good guy, which is understandable if your main source is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms but it has to be said that pretty much all three warlords used the same dirty tricks. Liu Bei had chronic betrayal disorder, Cao Cao buried enemy soldiers alive and Sun Quan also did some messed up stuff with the hill tribes. Cao Cao is not the "evil dark lord" we portray him to be.

Technically, the c's in Cao Cao are mainly pronounced with a combo of "ts" and "ch". Also, Zhuge Liang was a beast civil administrator. Strategist....? Er....so and so. Also, Cao Cao was already spending so much time trying to claim the North. Even though Jing was handed to him by Liu Cong on a silver platter, he still needed to crush Liu Bei and Sun Quan in a single swoop after being away from Xuchang for so long.

I'm curious, is there any evidence of a link between the Three Kingdoms Period, the Crisis of the Third Century, and the fall of the Parthian Empire? They all happened right around the same time, so I'm wondering if there were some climatic conditions common across all of them that could have aggravated internal issues.

Poor pronunciation of Chinese is not helped by bad Western spelling choices. At least when you're using Roman letters to spell Japanese words you get the proper phonetics sound. For example in chinese Tao is pronounced Dao, why do we use a t instead of a d I have no idea.
Legitimately considering this game because of you guys. Good job
So my favorite part about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the idea that "Long united must divide, long divided must unite," when you kinda have to ignore the short life of the Jin dynasty compared to the Han, and the fact that following the fall of the Jin, there was more than 200 years of disunity reaching a 16 kingdoms period at one point.

The only thing that I am a little concerned about is whether this depiction comes from actual historical records regarding the Three Kingdoms period, or if EH is using the narrative depicted in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Considering how he narrate Zhuge Liang as the greatest strategist, I am under the impression they are drawing from the novel, as Zhuge's intellect historically stems from his knowledge on government administration more than his military genius which is lacking compared to his godlike plans depicted in the novel.

So many people are getting on EC's backs for pronunciation even though there's a strong chance that many of the complainers themselves don't know how to pronounce the names properly. I know it's hard to listen to the pronunciations, but at least Chinese history is being covered more on KZread and the west in general. I've seen so many people on Total War forums say they already hate the new Three Kingdoms game because they're not interested in Chinese history and that's such a shame. This channel has always been a good starting off point to delve deeper into history of all the countries they've covered and I'm glad for it. I for one never would have even thought of Polynesian or Iranian history before I saw the series on this channel.

Just watch "Red Cliff" m8. It's an evening well spent, and the various characters are clearly differentiated. Also, a unit of cavalry gets scared off by a tortoise.
The Three Kingdoms period was like game of thrones but real, cooler and Chinese.

I think a better name for this video is the Battle of Guandu and Red Cliffs. Just so your as always excellent hard work is seen by more. :)
I remember that battle in Dynasty Warriors. With the ships tied together and fire and whatnot.

They are aware. They just can't really change the videos after they have been posted. You guys are screaming into a void. Hope that's making you happy
I love this channel, and this era of history (though this is clearly telling the story from the Romance, not real history), but my god the butchery of the names is PAINFUL
